| Reverse description | Elaborate cosmological composition centered on Zeus enthroned facing, holding a patera in his right hand and a long sceptre in his left; at his feet, an eagle stands left with head turned right. In the upper field, Helios drives a quadriga to the right, surmounted by a crescent, while Selene rides a biga drawn by bulls to the left, surmounted by a star. In the lower exergual register, Gaia reclines to the right holding a cornucopia, and Thalassa reclines to the left with crab claws upon her head, holding a ship's rudder with a prow at her feet. The entire composition is encircled by the twelve signs of the Zodiac, delimited by a dotted border, forming a rare and ambitious depiction of the cosmic order under divine sovereignty. |
